"I still have two active suits. I've been sued by MAGA folks. Everything from other uh families from remember MAGA hat kid that kid Nick Sandman."
Comedian Kathy Griffin told Bill Maher she remains in ongoing legal disputes years after the backlash over her Trump-headed photo, saying she currently has “two active” lawsuits. She said one case involves multiple families connected to the Covington Catholic student Nick Sandmann incident, stemming from her tweets about that confrontation, and described another suit in Tennessee tied to her comments about a video involving a trans student at a prom.
